This Petrogenium course is aimed at Geophysicists, geologists, petrophysicists and reservoir engineers involved in exploration, appraisal and development of clastic oil and gas accumulations. Participants should have a basic knowledge of clastic reservoir geology.
The clastic depositional environment is particularly complex and many factors may cause a
lower than expected recovery. This course aims at:
understanding of the depositional parameters defining the reservoir architecture,
the use of tools to predict subsurface reservoir architecture and
the impact of the heterogeneities on reservoir performance at different scales
